Date 31 July 2020

Time 13:38 2020 BRITISH GRAND PRIX 30 July - 2 August 2020 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (document 10) and heard from the driver and team representative, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 99 - Antonio Giovinazzi Competitor Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN Time 11:25 Session Practice 1 Fact Incident in turn 13. Offence Breach of Article 27.4 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision Warning, in accordance with Art 12.3.1.a of the FIA International Sporting Code. Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 99 (Antonio Giovinazzi), the team representatives and have reviewed video evidence. The Stewards accepted that when the driver left the position where he had come to a stop at Turn 13 his car shed debris due to his damaged tyres. However, the Stewards felt that the driver acted in a manner that was potentially dangerous to other drivers when he continued at speed and without due caution to the pit lane, shedding debris along the way. That he did so also contributed to the extended twelve-minute suspension of the session. In deciding the penalty, the Stewards have compared this incident to other Practice incidents in the last few years and have elected to utilize the Warning that is newly available to them under the International Sporting Code. Competitors are reminded that they have the right to appeal certain decisions of the Stewards, in accordance with Article 15 of the FIA International Sporting Code and Article 10.1.1 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, within the applicable time limits.
